Mom Approved Overview - Celebrity Cruises
Moms should get a cruise vacation too.
At Mom Approved Travel, one of our core beliefs is Moms should get a vacation too.
What that means is, Mom should actually enjoy going on a Celebrity Cruise vacation – she should not be stressing or spending her precious time worrying about which kid-friendly activities are in the Bahamas, how best to navigate Perfect Day at CocoCay, spending hours researching all the packing things, or making sure she doesn’t miss important payment, activity or check-in deadlines.
When Mom hires Mom Approved Travel to plan her luxurious Celebrity Cruise, she can spend her time and energy elsewhere, and get back to the business of Mom life!
We plan Celebrity Cruises a little differently, as our personalized cruise planning approach is crafted to protect the precious time and hard-earned travel dollars of overwhelmed Moms (and Dads). Unique Mom Approved processes allow you to focus on the fun and spend less time worrying about or messing with logistical details – we will take care of those for you!

Adventure and fun for kids 3 to 12 years old with Camp at Sea

What about a
group cruise on
Celebrity?
Group cruising with Celebrity Cruises and Mom Approved Travel means we do the work, you have fun with your group.
We can create a Celebrity group cruise for your friends, family or club
If you are thinking about planning a cruise vacation for your large family, friends, travel ball team, pickleball league players, Sunday School members, coworkers on an incentive trip or any other group, you should absolutely work with a Mom Approved Travel Advisor!
Did you know a Travel Agent can set up a group with Celebrity to possibly save money or qualify for perks? Your Travel Advisor can handle all of the details for you, at no extra cost for a big group.
Savings and perks are great, but the best part of group cruising with Mom Approved Travel is your Travel Advisor will be the one to handle the logistical issues of payments, price adjustments and answering common questions for all members of your group cruise- not you! As the cruise group leader, all you have to do is pack!
We know you love your family and enjoy spending time with your friends; but reminding Uncle Sam it’s time to make final payment, telling Grandma to leave her iron at home or figuring out if your neighbor’s 12 year old child needs a passport is not something you need or should be worried about.
Mom Approved Travel can do it all for you.
Celebrity Group Cruises without stress or drama is very Mom Approved!
